  1. I have Infocranks on my Road bike, Track bike and my indoor trainer bike, all have worked without problem for over 3 years now, and probably cost less that 1 Dura ace PM.
  2. Got 2 wired SRM's sitting in my drawer. Changed the batteries a few times, got them from the UK. BUT since I got InfoCrank, changing batteries cost about R100.00 I now have one on my Indoor bike, track bike and road bike, all for less than 1 SRM
  3. I have a pair from 2012, chamois still 100% but the Lycra is stretched now. Only use on my indoor trainer so no UV damage. You are better off getting new shorts than replacing the chamois as the new Lycra will be of greater benefit than a new chamois. Think of the unstitching and restitching
  4. No O rings in bicycle chains, only motorbikes
  5. Its about looking at your racing files and seeing what the torque value was at critical sections. then matching that torque in training. Of course if you have an InfoCrank, like me, you can see the torque value on the phone app whilst riding, obviously on the IDT. For example when I ride a pursuit on the track, I can see from my race file my torque value as being 40nM, at 115rpm. So I emulate that value on my indoor trainer, but riding with different cadence values, ie 60/80/90/100/110 etc This allows for more precise training stimulus as I am focusing directly on that particular torque value, but with different heart rates. higher the cadence the higher the heart rate. if you are able to go on the road and ride at exactly the same cadence and power output as the critical race section mentioned above then just do that. Only problem is then you only see after downloading the file where the values are, whereas with the InfoCrank and App you see in real time. This is based on my own personal views and experience
  6. some nice looking intervals there !!! glad I'm not the only person that realizes torque is the key not power
  7. I was there on the day, and I think the power is a Strava best guess. Gert will have to average over 350w to maintain that speed. Anyone that knows anything about power will agree. The only way you can average 250W for that speed is to be 5 foot tall weigh 60kg, and be super aero, of which Gert is neither. Gert is just plain a monster on the bike. He was riding at my pursuit speed for some of the ride. An effort I manage once and need 2 days to recover from.
  8. Hi David Works perfectly on my side,. except the speed is showing incorrectly. shows my max as 15. Have set the units to metric. I do from time to time go above 15...... but not very often
  9. Just some useless information.... Nike never made the shoes themselves, DMT make Cavendish's shoes and put Nike branding on them
  10. Ordered at 11h45, delivered at a 12h15. Awesome service!! Will try tomorrow am.

  12. Valverde is such a wheelsucker!!! does nothing but look behind for someone to help him. Can suck a wheel like a pro, but will always sprints past at the line!!!
  13. Yeah the windy days are the best, put them in the gutter when there's a side wind, and watch the weak ones pop out the back!!! A few weeks ago, had a strong wind from the left, I knew there was a right turn up ahead, went to the front and Steeked it for about 1km, looked back and there was about 6 out of +-50 left!!!
